I don't think that Angela Hacker is sufficiently notable for a standalone article.

What few sources out there on her, such as GAC and Allmusic, all date from the time of her Nashville Star win. Her only album, though released by a major label, consisted entirely of Nashville Star demos although it did receive at least two reviews. However, reviews are not enough to build a whole BLP on, and again, these date from when she had just won Nashville Star. She did not release any other material for Warner — no singles, EPs or albums. The "winner" album never charted.

The only after-the-fact sources I could find were this, which simply says that she left Warner Bros., and local coverage saying that she'll be in concert at a venue in Huntsville. Searches on Google Books show only "Clients of [publishing company] include Nashville Star winner Angela Hacker", false positives, an inspirational book written by her cousin, and a bunch of totally unrelated stuff that inexplicably comes up.

She did appear on a Cowboy Troy song, but I can barely verify that outside the album's liner notes. Beyond Fame Records' own website, I can't find any proof that she's on that label — and she hasn't released anything for them anyway, despite having supposedly been with them for 4 years.

In short, she seems to be a WP:BLP1E. She won Nashville Star but did nothing of note afterward. No singles, no other albums, nothing else that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:27, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I support this, even though she won she hasn't done anything notable enough to warrant a stand alone, and she doesn't appear to have anything big going on anytime soon. NYSMtalk page 20:03, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support; there's not much in the article that can't be mentioned in the Nashville star article. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 22:35, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Her independent notability is limited, and probably too limited to warrant an article for her. Backtable ^{Speak to me}_{concerning my deeds.} 23:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
